(December 12, 2018) – Next week, the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) will be installing a new navigational light on the westbound US 50 (John Hanson Highway) Bridge over the Severn River in Annapolis. The navigational beacon is necessary and critical for marine vessels. The work will begin on Monday, December 17 and continue each night until 5 a.m. Thursday, December 20.

Motorists can expect single and double right lane closures between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. MDOT SHA’s contractor is Joseph B. Fay Company of Glen Burnie. 

While MDOT SHA and its transportation partners work hard to maintain safe traffic mobility in work zones, each driver needs to actively modify his or her driving style to help prevent crashes. Stay alert and look for reduced speed limits, narrow driving lanes and highway workers. Slow down and don’t follow too closely. Work Zone Safety is in Your Hands.
